Viagra Boys - Into The Sun (From Shrimp Sessions 2)

[@Sol_Weird]

A band like this, with a frontman like this, needs a bigger audience.

[@Haitch_Kay]

It's crazy how damn *well* Seb can go from screaming SPORTS, talking about smuggling frogs into secret meetings, and rambling about shrimp shacks to giving a genuinely emotional performance like this. Not just his vocals, but his expressions and body language. This live version is infinitely better than the studio recording because of it.

[@Vinc3r]

WHAT, are you saying that "Sports" isn't full of emotions?!

[@olalof6555]

Amen!

Possibly his best vocal performance from an increasingly long line of great ones. The best outlaw country love song of the last 20 years, by a Swedish 'punk' band. Awesome.

[@steevan8125]

You are so right!

[@awarewolves1712]

He's just fucking outstanding. The band is outstanding. And I just now realized who's that one band I couldn't think that they remind me of - Thin White Rope from Davis, CA USA.

[@DocBree13]

Swedish??? I just found them today - why is all the best music coming from Sweden?

[@theworst4980]

The lead singer is from American he moved to Sweden 10-15 years ago

[@darkmantis69]

Swedish? Wow I just found that out. Thought they were post punk American. Even more brilliant. Wow. Best ever

[@TheOminousVoidWispers]

Criminally underrated band.

[@smwrbd]

Sebastiain, take care of yourself, and the band. The world needs you. Seriously.

[@ArmandoMartinez-vs6eb]

There is a lot of modern post-punk out there that is just a generic pastiche of nostalgia. These guys are the real deal. what a voice!

[@alpagator1372]

The serious & emotional lyrics really hit different when you've listened to him raving like a lunatic about a frog conspiracy for the previous 5 songs.

[@TheLookitsch]

Such introspection can only come in the morning after a night of researching chemicals....

Drugs aren't bad. Some people are just bad at doing them.

[@Phackdags]

@@esc8engn everyone becomes bad at drugs eventually brother. Shouldn’t do drugs too long.

[@mostlycusimbored]

@@esc8engn i don't think you can be bad at taking drugs. Maybe bad at chosing which drugs work for you. And as for how long you should do drugs, i say never stop , just be fucking responsible. If you see you can't control yourself on this or that you're choosing the wrong drugs. Or maybe you aren't it all depends on your goals

SS2 is on Spotify but I think I saw someone say SS1 was only released as an album with like a highly limited vinyl release by an obscure Japanese label lol

[@thelatejamesgandolfini4448]

this is like if the guy who sleeps in the park decided to be a rock and roll vocalist and i am here for it

[@gregwatson6379]

Yeah that fucker wakes up on the bench hits a 40 from the night before lights a cigarette...and starts singing

The VB’s are one of the best bands out now. Hands down! This, coming from a hard core punk rocker in the 80’s.

[@berman5963]

This is much better than the album version. His voice is super powerful here.

[@mrbellthebutler]

There is something about this track and the way it comes across live. It seems to be more "genuine in emotion". Relateble lyrics as well for me personally.

[@awarewolves1712]

Yeah, I think they're just way better live.

[@mickhurley4660]

These guys sound much better when playing live like this in my opinion

[@zjs3157]

Yea completely agree there live versions are so much better then there recorded ... I know like 2 bands I can say this for

[@imOverWhere]

yea the album mixing feels a bit flat in comparison

[@kaustik185]

@@imOverWhere the performance especially. must be weird for them to go in individually and do takes. maybe a "vulfpeck" approach would do them good

The way they produce tracks for their albums sometimes hides just how genuinely talented they are. Stripped back and relying on just their instruments in front of them they’re SO good. I still like the vibe they create on their albums but like, they’re unreasonably good live!

I dunno man in my opinion Jim Morrison couldn't hold this man's jock strap, he was SUPREMELY overrated. No comparison necessary, this band's music and performances speak VOLUMES on their own merit. Idles are the only other band at the moment that moves me in a similarly weighty and consequential fashion

In addition to the vocals look how seamless the members of the band play, sometimes it sounds like it could be loosely improved but it never sounds out of place.

Dude this guys are just killing it. I feel in love when i stumbled upon SS.1 and was like ok, new band for the list one greatest shit ever but the way they are releasing this tracks slowly and the order is genius,its creating a narrative even i realized if you listen to them in the order they let em out. Take the Toad as the first? 2nd? 1rst m, regardless he is all rippin loose on how he "dont need no woman"...the songs in tween this fill in the rest to now he is bsck to flippin like a toad on his previous stance begging for her back, i mean this guy man...never mind the music is just awesome they got so many cool influences and a they are hilarious and goddamn that drummer locked in with that bass player and dont get me started on Seb., one of my favorite stage presences ever.
